USPS issued this special postmark on the Inauguration Day of Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America. The postmark cancellation originated from Washington DC on 20 January 2009. Inauguration postmarks are available for most of the recent US Presidents.
The .42 cent commemorative stamp of the state of Colorado was issued initially in 2008. It represents one of the states that Barack Obama won in his 2009 Presidential bid. The stamp depicts the flag of Colorado and a mountain, although mountain climbers have pointed out -- pardon the pun -- that it appears to be based on Mount Helen in Wyoming. Despite explanation from famed stamp artist Tom Engeman's, who designed this Forever Stamp and has been commissioned to design all 50 of the state flag series, he took the creative liberty to design his impression of the Colorado Rockies.
The cachet shown here, of course, features Obama and his wife Michelle.
It should be noted that US postage stamps and cachets of the President Obama inauguration vary. That said, only the postmark cancellation is consistent on almost all of the inauguration issues for Obama.
